If I’m going to put time and effort into cooking a meal, I sure don’t want to settle for something mediocre. Still yet, when it comes to pork chops, I often find myself disappointed.

Baking and pan-searing can lead to a final product that might be too dry or too chewy or unevenly cooked. I don’t want to gamble with my hard-earned money on a meal that might not be that great.

The Instant Pot seems to have helped solve some of those issues that come with cooking pork and I had success with other pork recipes like my Instant Pot Country Style Ribs and Instant Pot pork roast.

When my family fell in love with my Instant Pot Pork Chops and Gravy, I decided to try regular boneless pork chops in the Instant Pot.

I was skeptical at first, but the result is delicious pressure cooker pork chops that are tender, juicy and oh, so flavorful. And perhaps the best part is that I don’t have to babysit the pan while they cook!

How to Make Boneless Pork Chops in the Instant Pot

It’s really simple to make this easy Instant Pot pork chops recipe.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Garlic Powder
• Paprika
• Onion Powder
• Italian Seasoning
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Boneless Pork Chops (about 1-inch thick)
• Olive Oil
• Chicken Broth
• Worcestershire Sauce

How to Make It:

(Full printable recipe is available below)

Season the pork. First, you’ll combine garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place pork chops on a plate and sprinkle seasoning generously over both sides of each chop, rubbing the seasonings into the pork.

Sear the pork. Next, you’ll set the Instant Pot to the Saute function to heat the oil. Brown the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, working in batches if needed. Place the seared pork chops on a plate and set aside briefly.

Deglaze the pot. Then, you’ll need to deglaze the pot to scrape up all of the brown bits. This is important so you don’t get the Burn error while cooking!

To do this, add chicken broth to the pot and scrape the bottom of the pot with a spatula or wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. Add the Worchestershire sauce to the chicken broth. Press Cancel to turn off the saute mode.

Cook the pork chops. Last, you’ll add the pork chops directly to the liquid (you can stack them if needed), then close the lid and vent. Cook for 15 minutes at high pressure followed by a natural release. Remove the pork chops and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes and Adaptations:

• Although the pork chops will technically be “cooked through” in a shorter cooking time, I’ve found shorter cook times result in meat that is tough, so I prefer the 15 minute cook time for more tender chops.
• If you’re in a hurry, you can allow a 5 minute natural pressure release followed by a quick release of remaining pressure, but I find that a natural release yields best results for tender meat.
• If desired, you can make a pan sauce or gravy from the cooking liquid remaining in the pot. Whisk together a cornstarch slurry in a small bowl (using 2 TBSP cornstarch and 2 TBSP water). Bring the liquid to a simmer using the Saute function, add the slurry, whisking well and simmering until thickened to your desired consistency.
• Leftover Instant Pot pork chops can be stored in an airtight container. You can reheat the leftovers in the Instant Pot!
